Keyboards, samples, chill electronics et al. make dub-like music. All instrumental. Gets a bit monotonous after a while, but they do have a well-polished, unique sound. FCC clean. Picks 1,2,11,12.
**1-(3:49) A warm catchy dub.
**2-(2:59) Mid. Starts with slow, nice horns. Chimes.
*3-(3:33) Echoy gtr. Prominent bass. Skeletal.
4-(3:05) Mid.
5-(4:28) Slow, with lots of spacey-effects.
6-(3:56) Computer distorted voice. Less dubby, more pink floydish at times.
7-(3:02) Lots of non-dubby interludes, trip-hoppy elec. rock.
8-3:07) Very reggae. Harmonica on top.
9-3:59) Very sparse, with chime/vibraphone effects.
10-2:30) Funky, very low bass line. Samples of 40s coronet.
*11-2:12) Gentle trip-rock. Catchy melody.
*12-3:08) After horn fanfare. Harmonica dub.
13-2:09) Delicate, sleepy, electronica, with chimes, dub underlay.
